Groupon Serves Up Breadcrumb

Today we’re excited to announce the national launch of Breadcrumb! Just a few months ago, Groupon acquired Breadcrumb – an easy-to-use, powerful and affordable iPad point-of-sale (POS) system that helps local restaurants, bars and cafes run more effectively – in another step towards becoming the world’s commerce operating system.

I spent years working in restaurants and bars suffering with expensive, outdated and confusing POS systems. We started Breadcrumb to provide the hospitality industry with the best POS experience it has ever had. We do that by combining intuitive and sophisticated software with outstanding support. Gone are the days of clunky terminals and expensive equipment with little or no support – Breadcrumb removes the complexities, frustrations and high costs common to legacy POS solutions. In other words, it’s just what restaurants and bars have been waiting for.

Breadcrumb streamlines all activity at local restaurants, cafes and bars, from taking and placing orders, to table management, payment processing and analyzing sales so merchants can learn about and improve their businesses.

After a successful pilot in New York City, we’re thrilled to be ready to offer service to all hospitality merchants in the U.S. for as little as $99 per month. Breadcrumb’s key benefits are:

Simplicity – Breadcrumb is as easy as using an iPad app. Servers can search for menu items or rearrange tables with a finger swipe, software updates are free and automatic, and we even ship new customers an all-in-one Breadbox that contains all hardware required to get started.

Powerful Features – Everything a restaurant or bar needs to operate more efficiently and deliver impeccable customer service. Breadcrumb has a full range of features that allows hospitality businesses to manage labor, take orders, process payments and analyze performance. Users can merge or split checks, add or adjust menu items, set employee access levels, view real-time sales and labor reports and more.

5- Star Support – Includes free 24/7 tech support from a dedicated team of hospitality specialists who have years of restaurant and bar experience.

Breadcrumb’s unique pricing model also sets it apart from other systems. Breadcrumb customers save thousands on hardware vs. legacy systems, pay no upfront fees, and aren’t pressured into long-term contracts. It’s not just about price – we’re so confident in Breadcrumb that if users aren’t happy within 30 days, they’ll get their money back, guaranteed.

We built Breadcrumb to solve a problem I faced, and I truly believe in its power to make hospitality folks’ lives easier. We’re excited to bring Breadcrumb to even more businesses and contribute to Groupon’s continued transformation into the world’s local commerce operating system!
